   OK Peter.   
      
   Can I ask why you continue to trash DB2 without providing any substantiation   
   that this supposed crash actually   
   happened? What are you afraid of? If, in fact, this did happen and was found   
   to be a real problem with DB2, what   
   possible motivation could you have for not disclosing the details ... unless   
   it really didn't happen?
